That's easy to say when you're not in their position. 

Just because I have a $600 camera lens doesn't mean I can go out and buy $30-100 lens filters all day.

They are just chairs like any other but with fancy racing looks. There is nothing magical about them. Just get any chair that is comfortable. :)

And $30-100 filters compared to a $300 chair. 

Point is, $600 is a shit ton of money for me the same way $4000 may be to him. Just because I have an expensive item, doesn't mean I can go out and buy less expensive items whenever I want to.

This is what I've got. I love it. My ass fits so perfectly. it keeps me a little upright too which is important for doing things for like 8 hours at a time.

This is the chair I have - http://amzn.to/11ciamY

 

It's fine I guess. It's a chair..  It's leather - I sit in it and it's comfortable. Never get sweaty during long computer sessions. I don't really know how it is compared to other chairs, and I can't justify paying more than $100 for a chair (I payed $75 for mine).

believe me when I say you gotta buy a dxracer chair.

I paid 500$ for mine which is the M series.

I had back pains , not because of my weight( Not overweight at all) but because I have an office job where I pretty much sit down all day long.

I hated the M series chair at first, but after 2-3 days using it I'll never buy another chair again. back pain is 95% gone! the 5% remaining is because of that stupid office chair at work.

which one is the most comfortable and cheap?

Literally, all a DXracer chair is, is a Sparco racing seat ( the Sparco R100 to be exact on most DXracer models ) with a office chair base to it.So I'm not quit sure that there is a knockoff, unless you call DXRacer the knockoff of a Sparco Street seat.

Its all covered here, DX Racers are a knock off of a knock off, just follow this thread and you'll see the real Racer Chair.

Good stuff starts here though in that thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/222578-dxracer-chairs/page-2#entry3053184

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

It is not just a chair, it is your health and well being, if you can afford it, you should get the best chair you can afford, arguably a comfortable chair is JUST as important as the computer you are using

 

As is the desk and other ergonomic, unless you want a bad back, and sore joints, better posture, better chairs etc really come down to your health

Location?
Staples has a chair that quite often goes on sale for $74.99. Easily one of the most comfortable chairs for the money. It's fake leather, but it has all the adjustments; up and down, tilt with lock, the back rest is also adjustable. The arms can be raised or lowered.

I miss mine.
